Juno at Jupiter: NASA probe enters polar orbit around giant gas planet [i]For only the second time in space history, a probe is now orbiting Jupiter, looping from pole to pole to improve our understanding of the formation and evolution of the largest planet in the solar system. NASA's Juno spacecraft, a solar-powered probe about the size of a basketball court, survived a 5-year, 1,740-million-mile (2,800-million-km) journey from Earth to arrive in polar orbit around the Jovian world on Monday night (July 4).[/i]
